First of all, I am going to admit I feel a bit silly posting this info more than a year later than I originally had intended. I had originally planned to make this post in January of 2019. However, several things combined to sidetrack me and I set aside my "Ross Mullins Trades" document and I basically just forgot about it. It wasn't until recently, as I was clearing out my computer of old documents and such that I have been hanging onto, that I came across my "Ross Mullins Trades" document. I then remembered I had planned to post the results here at Forex Factory, but I had just never got around to it. So, now, believe it or not, over a year later, I'm FINALLY getting around to posting the results!
Okay, for those of you that don't know of Ross Mullins, he is the head trader at Forex Traders Daily. His big claim on his website is that he can win up to 50 trades in a row. Or, to be a bit more accurate, he at least claims to at once upon a time to have won 50 trades in a row. Anyways, for a fee, you can join his trading room and also receive his daily trade calls in your email (these trades can happen before, during or after his trade room hours and you will receive an email whenever he makes any of these trades). I joined his trade room in 2017. At the end of 2017 I decided I would keep track of every trade he made for a full year beginning January 1, 2018 thru December 31st (however, it turned out that his last trade for the year happened on December 18th). Ross uses the Pepperstone trading platform. However, the fact is not every trader uses the Pepperstone platform. And anyone that has traded using various different trading platforms at once knows that the price on all the platforms do not necessarily sync up 100% with each other. That means sometimes Ross may enter a trade (on his Pepperstone platform) at a particular price, while on another platform the trade never enters because it may be a pip or two different that the Pepperstone platform. And for that reason I decided to use 5 different (demo) platforms to confirm a trade entry and exit. If 3 of the 5 platforms would have entered the trade, than I recorded it in my document as an official trade. If not, then I didn't record it. By requiring at least 3 of 5 platforms to agree a trade has been made, then my belief is that it virtually increases the odds anyone would have been able to enter the trade with whatever platform they were using. Thus, that is the reason why I used 5 trading platforms to confirm a trade entry & exit instead of relying only on the Pepperstone platform that Ross Mullins used.
The 5 (demo) platforms I used were: Pepperstone, FX Choice, Tradersway, Oanda, Forex.com
Overall, with the rules I mentioned above, there were only a small number of trades for the entire year I didn't enter in which Ross did enter.
Now, before I give his 2018 final trade results (that I personally recorded), we have to establish what exactly is considered an official "trade". Do we count trades that exit at Breakeven as an official trade? Or is a official trade only those that exit with a profit or a loss, without any BE trades interrupting? If we only consider a trade to be official if it ends up exiting with a profit or a loss - without any BE trades happened during the string of trades - then the most consecutive wins Ross had for the entire year is 5 consecutive wins. If we ignore the BE trades that happened during a string of trades, then the most consecutive wins for the entire year is 6 consecutive wins. Conversely, in regards to losses, if we ignore the BE trades that happened during a string of trades, then the most consecutive losses for the entire year is 6 consecutive losses.
So, now,,, here below is the sum total of the results for the year 2018 of Ross Mullins's trading service:
THE END RESULTS:
The entire year = 55 wins ... 60 losses ... 70 BE's (break-evens)
Pip total for the entire year:
+715 pips won
-560 pips lost
total = +155 (avg. +13 pips per month)
There you have it: one full year of trading results of Ross Mullins trading service. It's up to others to decide if the results are good, bad, or somewhere in-between. I will say, in regards to Ross Mullins himself, from what I can tell, he is a fair and honest guy that doesn't make up false results like other trading rooms of other people I've been involved with in the past. Overall, I do believe he has integrity.
Now, having said all of the above, after tracking his trades for one full year, it's hard to believe "He wins 20, 30, 40, even 50 wins in a row!" as he advertises. Maybe he did accomplish one of those winning streaks at some point in his life, but the fact is - in the year 2018 at least - the fact is he never won more than 6 consecutive wins... and that is a FAR cry from his advertised "He wins 20, 30, 40, even 50 wins in a row!" sales pitch.
